And check out my online courses:

• Remote Stop
• Steady

In brief:

• Build an alternative reinforcer
• Teach the dog to recall off game before stopping/sitting
• Teach the dog to stop/sit to flush
• Teach the dog that access to the game is contingent on their response to you (if they respond, they may get it)
• Implement prevention (by itself this won't work without also teaching the dog what to do)

Answering many super-interesting listener questions :) 

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃

I cover a few bits and pieces related not to training itself (how to train a specific behaviour) but how to conceive of various training-related issues in a broader way. Does that sound vague? Well, you'll just have to give it a go. PS I also cover water deliveries.
